  • The Cyclone I’m confused about the difference between euphoria and euphorbia and I always have been. One of them is poisonous to humans and dogs, though it can be used for certain types of skin cancer. The other is a state of absolute joy which I tend to avoid at all costs as it makes

  • The interesting thing

    All of us long for touch yet the witness is the most important thing we can have in our lives. Someone who knows where we are, and what we believe in and who stands behind us, with their hands on our shoulders, letting us know that they are there no matter what. It’s only now

  • Resilience

    People say I am very resilient. Examples of this might be: receiving stitches with no Novocain, having a baby without the doctor in the room, losing a child to suicide, having a seven hour back surgery and never complaining about the pain afterward.

    Swimming in my underwear

    Last night I swam in my underwear.   Probably many people have done this in their lifetime, but I have not done this before. I wanted to swim, it was a beautiful night, and my bathing suit was upstairs and I was downstairs, so I convinced myself that my camisole looked like a bathing suit.
